Powder Characterization: A Step for the Future of Battery Improvement

In this article, we explain the importance of powder flow characterization for battery manufacturing using instruments such as the GranuDrum, the GranuCharge and the GranuPack.

Complementing Granutools measurements with DEM modelling to optimize processes involving powders

In this article, we show how DEM simulations can help to better understand powder flow measurement and how to cross the bridge between the laboratory measurement and processes optimization in the production plant.

Bulk powder characterization to optimise battery manufacturing and performance

In this study, we highlight the advantages provided by producing composite powders made of sulfur and carbon black compared to the simple dry-mixed powder blend method for Sulfur Li-ion based batteries.

How GranuPack assesses carbon black deagglomeration in battery manufacturing

The impact of the powder mixing step for electrode manufacturing has been investigated for three powder blends made of the same composition of raw powders with different mixing times. The influence of the mixing time on the packing density of the powder blend is evidenced by the GranuPack.
